Is it me or am I the only one who in their games that when they look at the smallest army unless it's very late the netherlands usually have 0 army even when next to warmongering civs? In my King game I was playing Denmark went to war with the Netherlands and he had about 11k and I think was making is 5th city (only about 60-90 turns in on standard speed). I then because Morocco made friendship with Denmark payed Denmark to go to war with Morocco and it pulled me in with because of defensive pack. Later in the game after the Netherlands had only 2 cities I got frigates took over Rabat (which Morocco JUST gave away in peace) and gave it back to him (bad city) and went over and returned Netherlands 3rd-4th city (they also lost Rotterdam). After about another 50 or so turns using Info addict he still remained 2nd to last in military (even on turn 200 he was still there) only because Denmark had basically his capital left and he was very close to them in military.
I don't get it. In many games I see they usually are the first to be wiped out if they're in it and near any semi-warmongering civs.
Why are they just so bad at knowing what they really need? I understand the AI isn't to great at it but I see the other AI's that aren't warmongers have a good enough military to actually defend their cities from even barbarians (trust me 11k most likely in the AI's way wont defend against barbarians over 4-5 cities)
